GCTechnologies 120-00210452-00

The GCTechnologies 120-00210452-00 is a modular gas chromatography system engineered for multi-channel analytical workflows in demanding laboratory and industrial environments. Built around an independent, programmable thermal architecture, it delivers precise temperature control across up to 10 heated zones and supports up to 4 analysis channels. The platform accommodates multiple detector types

TCD, FID, PDD, PED, PID, PFPD, MS, and VUV LUMA - and column configurations ranging from capillary (0.15–0.32 mm ID) to packed (1/8" OD) formats. Repeatability of 0.2% RSD or better ensures analytical consistency. Electronic Gas Control spans up to 7 modules (14 channels), while optional thermal desorption with Peltier cooling and multibed traps extends application scope. Integrated LAN connectivity, Chromeleon/OpenLab software compatibility, and 8 external valve control outputs enable seamless laboratory automation and data integration.
